The Zero Theorum.

It was a subtle and quick moment in the film, but one worthy of pointing out.
Terry Gilliam’s latest
The Zero Theorem
portrays a near-future society run by scientific materialism, a place where hyper-stimulation through the ever-present telescreens, billboards, targeted advertisements
that literally follow you down the street, pop music, signs and other continuous stimuli have created a dumbed-down, consumerist society with little meaning.
Only slightly ahead of where Western culture has already brought us, the film portrays a shallow and narcissistic culture obsessed with smart phones, tablet devices and even new religions based upon pop figures and superheroes (hinted at in references to the Church of Batman the Redeemer, for example).
In this context, Gilliam slips in a street scene with colorful trashcans and recycling bins which are probably familiar to most – yet with a slight but important alteration to those paying attention.
Compare the screenshot from the film above to the cutesy waste/recycling bins from real life, like the ones seen below:
The bins in
Gilliam’s film
are ALMOST conventional… but not quite: notice where the trash is thrown away – not in the mouth, but in a hole between the eyes in the forehead of the anthropomorphic receptacles.
This is the exact location of the so-called
“Third Eye,” which marks the location of the pineal gland behind the forehead and the position of the 6th chakra, which many ancient cultures have associated with intuition, knowledge, and insight. As
Eden Shetiyah of In5D wrote:
The pineal gland, referred to as the Third Eye, the Eye of Horus or the Seat of the Soul, is a small pine cone shaped organ inside your brain that secretes hormones like melatonin, serotonin and DMT (Dimethyltryptamine), also known as the Spirit Molecule. Melatonin and serotonin are responsible for sleep or meditative states, and emotional states of well-being, bliss and euphoria.
On the energy level, the pineal gland is the physical manifestation of the 6th Chakra – Ajna, associated with true mystic potential, perception of non-physical reality and spiritual wisdom.
Because of its pine cone shape, the pineal gland is often symbolized by a pine cone.
This means that in Gilliam’s latest dystopic world (like
his masterpiece, Brazil
), the population is literally “trashing” its third eye.
Trashing something which most people never even learn the significance of in the first place…
In this parody of society as depicted, people have learned to love their servitude. They are trained to obey, consume, and waste without any long-term critical thought on the matter, not only about the environmental impact of a disposable society (where we are considered as disposable as our disposables), but about the literal long-term price of eating and drinking from cheap plastic containers filled with endocrine disrupting chemicals like BPA; consuming what essentially amounts to garbage — energetically dead, genetically modified foods filled with dangerous, potentially carcinogenic synthetic additives and tainted with pesticides; and a world completely saturated with wi-fi and electronic stimulation under an ever-present big brother police state.
People are consuming garbage, then throwing the garbage of that garbage into an anthropomorphic trashcan’s third eye in a cartoonish mirroring of themselves like the wasted system slaves they’ve so clearly become.
Beyond that, if we never connect to the ancient spiritual wisdom buried within each of us, we may never know our own true power as individuals, just as the powers that shouldn’t be would prefer to keep it.
Trashing our third eye…
